Chapter 196 - His Story
For a long while, Davi just stood there unmoving since the moment Sei fell asleep on her shoulder. She was afraid that she might wake him up. It was because for a while now, Davi actually noticed that his movement seemed to turn a bit languid even though it was not evident when they were at the courtyard. Additionally, Sei, dozing off this early was obviously a sign that he might have been so tired and needed to rest very badly.
With many things hovering in her mind, Davi waited patiently until she felt Sei"s slow and heavy breathing, indicating that he finally entered the deep sleep state, only then she allowed herself to lean on the couch.
After a while, Zaki in disguised finally walked towards them quietly.
"Miss, are you alright? How about we let him lie down?" He softly suggested when the girl waved her hand.
"No, I"m fine. I"m afraid we might wake up Sei up if we move him." she replied in a whisper, causing Zaki to just chuckle for a while before he just sighed.
"Sigh… I"m sorry Miss, he didn"t take any proper rest these past, in fact he didn"t even sleep during our twelve hours trip because he was so excited to come home, haha. So I guess.... his body finally reached its limit and I think he just dozed off like that because he could finally relax now that you"re by his side." He explained as he smiled, but what he said made Davi"s face went from tranquility to sadness.
"Why? Why does he need to exhaust himself this much?" she said as she bit her lip.
That moment, seeing the worries and sadness in her eyes made Zaki tongue tied. Well, he didn"t expect that she will be saddened this much just because of what he said. And her question just made him look at the sleeping guy on her shoulder before he moved closer to them.
"Miss, I decided to tell you a story about him." He said, causing Davi to look at him with wide eyes.
"But before that, let"s make you both comfortable first. Don"t worry, he won"t wake up because he"s too exhausted." He continued and Davi could only nod at him.
Moments later, Sei"s head was now on Davi"s lap. He was still in deep sleep and Davi couldn"t help but stare lovingly at him for a long while before the man across her finally began to talk.
"Let me ask you something first miss, do you believe all those words he said about himself?" Zaki asked with a serious look in his eyes. And upon hearing him, Davi immediately replied him with an absolute "Yes".
Her eyes started flus.h.i.+ng fiercely, exuding her thirst and desires to know more about her dearest husband. She just wanted to hear his story that she even tolerated the fact that this man across her obviously eavesdropped on them in the courtyard.
"I… I want to know more about him. I want to know everything about him." She then said and her eyes went astonis.h.i.+ngly determined again. Causing Zaki to just scratch the back of his neck as he smiled with satisfaction. Well, he realized that there"s no use hiding it anymore. And besides, Zaki understood that the girl just wanted to comprehend the situation surrounding Sei. And above all, he knew just how bad Sei"s skill in expressing himself that he certainly doubts that he could ever tell the story of his life in more than ten sentences, even if it"s her. The fact that he never even once tried telling his experiences to anyone else made Zaki"s head hurts as he imagined Sei telling her only tiny bits of information about himself without any details involving the hows and whys. That was the reason why Zaki decided to tell her his untold story because apart from helping Sei, he felt that no matter what happens, he has to make this girl understand his situation. And in order for her to do that, he knew that she has to know his story.
Thus the next moment, Zaki finally began to talk.
"There"s this seven years old boy…"
